Figure 38 is a block diagram representation of the low voltage thermal performance testing. The testing used a load generator and a power resistor for each rail in order to test the thermal performance of the board at each load currents worst case.
Table 2 shows all of the low voltage power supplies rails with each of their total currents. These values were tested in for their thermal performance in Figure 39 and Figure 40.
RAIL | TOTAL CURRENT (mA) |
---|---|
3.3 V Rail | 137.5 |
2.5 V FPGA | 500 |
1.8 V FPGA+FX3 | 300 |
1.8 V RX | 840 |
1.2 V RX | 275 |
1.2 V FX3 | 250 |
1 V FPGA | 312.5 |
2 V Extra | 250 |
TPS54218 (3.3 V) | 1000 |
Figure 39 shows a thermal image of the bottom of the low voltage circuit board with all the rails shown in Table 2 at the full load condition. The maximum temperature is 29.9°C with an ambient temperature of 28.4°C. Figure 40 shows a thermal image of the top of the low voltage circuit board with all the rails at the full load condition. The maximum temperature is 32.1°C, with an ambient temperature of 30.1°C
